INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[Line.a]

Hello everyone!
My partner and I have been following this forum for a few months now but have just joined in!
I am Canadian and he is British - applying as Common Law.

It's been so helpful for us to refer to this community to find answers to some of the questions that have come up for us since applying, and also get an idea of timelines. It's been so encouraging to see all the AIP and OWPs start coming in, but also see the strength and patience of those still waiting. It looks like things have really sped up in the last little while - my last check was on Dec 30/2013 and CIC said processing apps received Jan 29, and today it says processing apps received Feb 23! Almost a month's jump in just 2 weeks - that's more movement than we've seen all year. Let's hope it keeps up!

Can you please add us to the spreadsheet? Info is as follows:

App rec'd: Mar 15
AOR: Mar 27
Med: with app
Police check: with app
OWP: with app

Thanks very much! Glad to finally be part of the forum

Welcome!

You should PM guri once you are able to, so he can get it! He's the one in charge of the spreadsheet

im nervous cause the didint ask for the payment

how many time before they ask??

 

[msgoodvibes]

Yes , but it's not a certificate now , it's just a regular letter , your doctor will know as soon as you ask him . And yes it is better after you get the AOR email . And no , you shouldn't expect anything else from them other than the AIP ! . And when your angel gets to earth , don't forget to send his/her birth certificate ! .

Will do! Thanks much! )

Hello to all my sisters & brothers,

Please update 2013 inland spreadsheet as we got a good news! Me and my wife got AIP+OWP+DM emails on January 9 2014!

Can't describe how happy we are! Just want to thank all of you for your support!

Hope you all hear good news soon~ THANK YOU ALL! xoxo!

Congratulations buza!!! and all those got AIP, OWP and DM!!!!! Wish to keep the ball to rolling at this good speed

hey there waiting_patiently according to my specially design AIP formula its something I came up with because I have too much time on my hands and it has been fairly accurate so far. If all variables remains the same and they continue moving at this pace May applicants should start getting good news sometime in the week of February the 3rd. how exciting is that!!

I am a May applicant too and glad to hear this estimation. I simply count the number of applicants have got AIP between 2nd and 9th Jan (8days), which tells me a volume of 16 days application based on AOR date. At this pace, May applicants start getting good news in the week of Feb 3rd in my simple simple counting as well

Yes, it's your AIP. This is a standard form letter that everyone gets. They will now process the applicant part. It could take a couple days or even a couple months, but you are close to the end.

According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp, it's an average of 8 months.

How are you guys figuring that they will start processing May applicants in early February? Its early January now, and they are only processing early March applicants (= about 10 months). If they were processing May applicants in Feb, that would be a jump from 10 months to 9 months processing time in less than 1 month....

Happy for that to be true, but it seems highly unlikely.

Hello irish, yes it is the AIP, while u need to submit the medical and police certification in order to get the final decision of PM. Congratulation for you.

When did you apply for it? and when you received it?

 

[Alurra71]

According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp, it's an average of 8 months.

You are correct, however there have been few, very very few in the last 12 months that have gone longer than 12 weeks from AIP to DM. Mine took 4 weeks.

I had a slight similar situation as you since we didn't even know we qualify as common law by living together for one year. It seems like they just want proof of cohabitation of at least one year prior to you application(assuming you have other documents to support the relationship itself). We had just moved to a new apartment from a shared house while doing our undergrad, and threw out the lease. What we did was made a letter stating the time period when lived at our old house and had the landlord sign it. We included mail/bills that was delivered to that old address to support the landlord's letter. We also included the new lease (10 months) with both our names. Since we are students, we did not have joint bank accounts/wills/or any insurance beneficery. The two statuary declarants we used was my childhood friend and a schoolmate/housemate who lived with us at the old address.

Hope that helps.

Okay so do you guys think that if I fill out, and get the 'Statutory Declaration Of Common Law' form signed by a commissioner of oaths then this will provide sufficient evidence of our relationship? At the time of our application we just send away proof of the two of us living together such as letters for each of us that were sent to the same address.

We have an appointment in the morning with a lawyer, and we are hoping to get our form signed and dated back to September 2011 when we began living together. We are each bringing bank statements with us from that time to show that we were both at the same address.

Thanks

Folks-g, I don't know how you came up with your formula, but let me tell you that you are an amazing human being! I'm an early April applicant, so if your formula holds true, my husband and I will hear something this month! You have no idea how happy you've just made me. Lifts the spirits.

+1.

Until we see this magic formula, I'm going to go ahead and say that is probably highly unlikely.
